Texas Premiere of the underground hit called “The best film about addiction since Requiem for a Dream”

Artistic lovers Viv and Jay are trapped in a vicious cycle of codependent heroin addiction. When Viv's wealthy parents hire an interventionist to take her to rehab, the couple decides to go it alone with nothing but a suboxone prescription and each other. All they have to do is survive one harrowing night of withdrawal. As the hours tick by, physical, mental, and emotional torments send them searching through fractured memories, trying to figure out where it all went wrong. 

Raw, unflinching, and surprisingly funny, Withdrawal was shot on miniDV in Athens, GA for a budget of $60k. Winner of 12 awards on the festival circuit, the film is now touring independent cinemas and across North America.
